I'm once again really happy to share with you another miraculous Vajrapani Ruel story shared by a reader. In this personal testimony my reader Crisanto (Cris) thinks that the only miracle came from the Vajrapani Ruel, but I think it is a combination of both the Vajrapani Ruel and of the goodness of his heart.
According to Cris he has emailed me four times in a span of two months before I was able to answer his email. As you can see, I receive numerous emails a day and it is quite difficult for me to answer or read all them, and admittedly there are emails that are (unfortunately) left unread.
Anyway, in the email Cris poured his heart out. He said that his wife passed away a few years ago because of a vehicular accident. Since then he has become bother father and mother to his two children who are only 10 years old and 6 years old. His mother helps out but the main source of their income is his meager salary as an office employee.
I decided to give my number to Cris and was able to talk to him, and he said that being a single parent is no easy feat. He has to wake up at 4am, prepare his children's food and then leave the house even before his kids wake up. His mom wants to prepare breakfast for the them but he felt that his mom is really old and weak to be doing house work, besides he feels that she is already contributing a lot simply by looking after the kids.
Cris leaves early for work because he leaves in Valenzuela City (Philippines) and works in Makati. His travel time takes him about 2.5 hours going everyday, and coming back it will take more or less the same amount of time. He usually gets home between 9 and 10 in the evening. He only catches up on sleep every weekend.
When I talked to Cris, I felt sorry for him and wanted to give him the Vajrapani Ruel for free, I will personally take care of the donation for him. But according to my Guru Lama for the Vajrapani Ruel to be truly effective there must be an exchange of energies from Cris' part.
It took Cris about two months before he got the Vajrapani Ruel and lucky for him that I still have some Vajrapani Ruel. And so he got it and he said he would surely let me know if he gets his miracle. That was August 29, 2017. Yesterday, I got a message from Cris and he was quite ecstatic, he said he already got a miracle from the Vajrapani Ruel.
Note: Time of writing is most likely not the time of posting.
Apparently, a few days ago, he was feeling really down. His mother fell ill and medical bills are additional expenses that's really taking a toll with his finances. Furthermore, there are several leaks in his house that needs to be fixed. And for awhile, he thought that the Vajrapani Ruel is useless, and since I told him that he can return the Vajrapani Ruel in 3 months should it not work for him, he thought he'll just return it to me even if the 3 months that I said is not yet up. And so one morning, he was really desperate; he thought that to make her mother comfortable he would just have to resort to illegal means like stealing money. Of course, as soon as he thought of this he realized that this is simply wrong and so he hold on to the Vajrapani Ruel and sort of talked to it and said that it better work or else he might resort to something bad or just return so he can use the money. After that he went to the office.
At the office that routine was pretty much normal until he went to the rest room during after lunch. He used a stall and saw a brown envelope. When he checked it he found out that there a big amount of money. Several bundles to be exact. Cris thought he could keep the money and just be quiet about it. He went as far as checking whether anybody else was in the rest room. When he went out of the rest room he tried to check whether anyone might be looking for it, seeing no one he realized it'd be a big help. He was not yet sure at that time, but the money seems to have totaled around 500,000 Philippine pesos.
When he reached his office, he knew that it was wrong and that he simply cannot do it and so he went to search as to who might have left the money.
He decided to go to Human Resources to turn over the money. To make the long story short, apparently the money was withdrawn by a personnel in Accounting for the salary of janitors, drivers, of the company. However, before going back to the accounting department the said person who is not feeling well decided to go to the rest room first where he vomited then lost consciousness (he had a stroke) out of confusion nobody noticed the envelop of money. And it totaled 500,000 Philippine peso, or approximately US$ 10,000.00!
Somebody in HR knows the story of Cris family, and when the president of the company found out about what happened he wanted to reward Cris. Cris' friend in HR was able to tell the secretary of the president about what Cris was going through. And so the president rewarded him with what he needs.
The company gave Cris' children scholarships until college! On top of that Cris was given a 50,000 Philippine peso and his mother's medical bills will be taken care of by the company! He was also given a raise and on top of that he was also regularized! Although technically speaking he was still up for an evaluation before he can be realized, that process was bypassed.
Cris considers this as a great miracle. In fact, according to him the scholarships alone will help a lot. And he can save up some money because he need not pay for tuition fees and books and uniforms! He can also take home some food from the canteen for free. And that alone will help a lot to ease his expenses!
Cris is right to consider this as a Vajrapani Ruel, but I think he also got this because of his unselfish heart.

This week had been stressful. My daugther went away to Cyprus this weekend and the week consisted of lots of running around. In addition we went to a concert at Jones Beach to see Paramore on Friday night. The concert was great.
Dropped lyssa off at JFK on Saturday and spent the rest of the day w/my BF and her girls. I ended up staying up al night tracking my daughter flight to Germany and then onto Cyprus, I couldn't sleep til I knew she was at her destination which ended up being 7am our time. At that point why bother going to sleep? I had all intentions of going to the beach but the weather was not cooperating. It was crazy cloudy and I didn't think it would be worth the effort or $22 fee to go out and be miserable.(of course it turned out to be a great day at beach, as I was told by other friends who went :() However I digress. I actually did something creative today!! I found 1 mini lunch box in ACmoore and used Okieladybug's cut file from her blog to make this:

A pinch of salt for your coffee, Sir?Sunday, March 21st, 2010
A small sprinkle of salt will suppress bitterness – and in some cases it can benefit the overall coffee flavor. I've tried it with an espresso and somehow it works, but it's difficult to describe the flavor.
I prefer my coffee black, and politely decline when offered milk and sugar. However, if offered salt I would probably smile and say "Yes, please!" Salt???! It turns out that adding salt to coffee is not as weird as it may sound at first. There is a tradition for adding a pinch of salt to coffee in Northern Scandinavia, Sibir, Turkey and Hungary. And when available, such as in coastal areas where fresh water from rivers mixes with the salt sea, one would simply use brackish water when preparing coffee. This water typically has a salt content of 0.5-3%, which is lower than the average 3.5% in seawater. This results in a more intense taste and more foaming. And if living far from the sea, the Swedish food blogger Lisa Fí¶rare Winbladh let me know that in Northern Sweden one would deliberately add salt if using melt water from glaciers for making coffee. But tradition aside, is there a scientific explanation of this widespread tradition of preparing coffee with addition of salt?

Halle Berry's Beau Olivier Martinez Opening Restaurant in Miami Beach
Villa Azur will feature a French and Italian-inspired menu, as well as a VIP dining room and wine cellar
Halle Berry's beau Olivier Martinez has been spending so much time in Los Angeles with the Oscar winner that he hasn't visited Miami for months. But that will change early next month, when the French actor opens a restaurant on South Beach.
"I love the interesting and international people I have met in Miami," Martinez tells PEOPLE. "So when my friend Michael Martin said he found a space for a restaurant and lounge where we could bring in the best aspects from the South of France, I was excited and wanted to get involved."
Together with restaurateur Jean-Phillippe Bernard, the partners are opening Villa Azur, featuring the seasonal ingredients and international flavors of Saint-Tropez, where Martinez and Martin have spent many late nights enjoying fine food and wine.
"Olivier and I love Miami and want to bring the glamour and allure of the South of France to this melting pot of a town," Martin says.
The menu will be French and Italian-inspired and feature entrees such as penne pasta with vodka and caviar cream sauce, or a veal filet mignon stuffed with artichokes, tomatoes and cheese.
The bar and lounge boasts a library with art and design books, as well as couches for guests to sip champagne and share plates of oysters with caviar and Olivier's special olive bread, which he enjoys in France.
Designed by Francois Frossard, the restaurant will be outfitted in antique woods and chandeliers with both contemporary and old pine furniture.
La Cave d'Azur, the intimate private dining room and wine cellar, will seas 12 VIPs and offer nearly 200 choices of hand picked wines.
Says Martin: "Olivier knows that we are doing something special together where people can get a touch of Saint-Tropez glamour in South Beach."

Your online access registration details are now available from our reception teams at St Nicholas', St Patrick's and Hodgson Lane Surgeries. Please ensure you bring in your identification i.e passport or driving license to enable us to release this information.
We are pleased to announce that we now have late night opening on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to 8pm for nurse and Healthcare Assistant appointments. We hope this will prove beneficial to patients who struggle to make a day time nurse appointments. You can see our Healthcare Assistants Danielle & Jessica for the following: BP's, Healthchecks, Dementia Screening, Vascular checks, Stroke/TIA checks, Hearing Tests, Mental Health Reviews, Dopplers, B12 injections, ECG's.
We continue to have a very high number of patients who fail to attend appointments they have made each day so please do remember to cancel so they can be offered to other patients who may really need them . You can cancel your appointments online.
The practice offers confidential advice and service covering family planning.
Announcement – Sexual Health Services
From 1 April 2015 the practice will no longer be able to fit and remove the IUCD (coil) and the Nexplanon implant for contraception. Instead, patients will be referred to Conifer House to receive these services.
This situation has arisen as a direct consequence of the Health Reforms which transferred the responsibility for commissioning of Public Health Services to the local Councils. The revised terms of the contract offered to practices from 1 April 2015 are such that it is unsustainable for us to continue. Quite simply, the cost of providing the service is far greater than the revised terms we have been offered. With great regret, therefore, we have been unable to accept the contract to provide these services in the practice with immediate effect.
This decision has not been taken lightly and has far reaching implications for clinicians as well as for patients. In order to maintain their skills, clinicians must fit a minimum number of devices each year as well as undergoing regular updates and re-validation. These skills will be lost over time as we cease to provide the service.
Patients can still see their GP for sexual health advice and we will continue to discuss all available methods of contraception. Whilst we can continue to provide the oral contraceptive pill, condoms and the 3-monthly depo-provera injection, patients whose preference is for LARC (long acting reversible contraception) will need to attend Conifer House for fitting of coil or implant.
Please note that if you currently have a device fitted, we will no longer be able to remove this and, again, it will necessitate a referral to Conifer House.
Morning after pill service is provided from all our surgeries and from Withernsea Hospital.
All doctors provide maternity care in co-operation with the community midwives and health visitors. Various options for maternity care are available; you may wish to discuss these with your doctor or midwife. Always bring a urine sample in a clean bottle to the clinic.
Smear tests for women are intended to detect changes before cancer develops in the cervix (neck of the womb). The changes can be treated and cancer prevented. We recommend that all women between the ages of 25 – 65 should have regular smear tests unless advised to the contrary by the doctor. The practice nurse carries out smears.
A reminder is sent when your smear is due. If you wish to be excluded from the cervical smear screening programme, please come and discuss it with the practice nurse. Please do not just ignore the letter. If you still wish to be excluded from the screening programme you will be asked to sign a form to inform the health authority of your wish. The smear result will be posted to you directly.
Minor operations are offered by arrangement with your own doctor. For legal reasons, an adult must accompany anyone under 16. You will be asked to sign a consent form.
These are held every Thursday at 2.00pm at St Nicholas' Surgery. For your convenience, practice nurses will give childhood vaccinations at any of their general clinics at all our surgeries. You can get information on the childhood vaccination schedule in the health & lifestyle section on this webpage.
All babies registered with the practice will receive an appointment by post to see a doctor shortly after the age of six weeks. The health visitor will carry out other child health surveillance on the basis of need. The doctor will see children at the request of the health visitor or parents should a developmental concern arise.
Cryotherapy clinics are held at St Nicholas' Surgery for the treatment of warts etc, you must see a doctor first for an appointment.
Diabetic clinics are held at all surgeries. Sister Guy runs them. Diabetic patients are invited to attend for regular check-ups. It is important to attend for monitoring, advice and support. Practice nurses are always available for additional advice.
Once a year diabetic patients are invited to attend the retinal camera screening. This is extremely important to prevent visual impairment and blindness. It is important that you attend the clinic even if you are seeing your own doctor regularly.
Asthmatics are invited to attend the clinic once a year for assessment and adjustment to your treatment. It is important that you attend the clinic even if you are seeing your own doctor regularly.
Patients suffering from COPD are invited to attend the clinic once a year for assessment and adjustment to your treatment. Lung function tests (spirometry) are done at regular intervals. It is important that you attend the clinic even if you are seeing your own doctor regularly. Please remember to bring all your inhalers with you.
The surgery provides a number of additional CDM clinics e.g. coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, epilepsy and mental health reviews. Patients will be invited to attend. It is important that you attend the clinic even if you are seeing your own doctor regularly or attending hospital. Much of the management of CDM clinics is now linked with our Long Term Conditions Clinic you can find out more about this clinic on this website.
If you are not on a regular review and would like a health check, please request an appointment.
All GP practices are contracted to provide Essential Services, that is, basic treatment of ill people.
We also provide the following Additional & Enhanced Services:
**Announcement – Sexual Health Services
The practice has developed a new innovative approach for managing patients with Long Term Conditions. If you have asthma, COPD, diabetes, ischaemic heart disease, epilepsy, high blood pressure, heart failure or have had a stroke/TIA you might receive an invitation to this new clinic. The project is currently targeted at those patients who have more than 1 of the above problems but hopefully will be rolled out to all patients with Long Term Conditions in future years.
The clinic consists of one single longer appointment for all your conditions. Prior to the appointment you will be sent a Health Needs Assessment form to complete so we can concentrate the appointment on the areas which concern you the most. A GP & the practice pharmacist will also review your record; before your appointment; and might make suggestions to the practice nurse to improve your care.
The appointment will focus on increased education, creating personal goals & encourage self care/management. As part of the appointment you will create an agreed personal care plan for the next 12 month period.
If you want to find out more about your condition and how you can help manage it the is lots of useful information available on this website. Please visit our long term conditions section.
The surgery recently won a Royal College of General Practitioners Enterprise award for the clinic. You can find out more here.
The practice nurses provide advice and vaccination for all foreign travels. Please complete a holiday questionnaire (available from reception) and return it to the surgery at least eight weeks before you intend to travel. The nurse will then check if you require any vaccinations and any necessary appointments can be made.
Please note from 1st May 2014 we will no longer offer Yellow Fever Vaccinations. Some vaccinations may incur a charge.
If you require Malaria medication we will provide a private script for you to take to a pharmacy of your choice. This enables you to shop around for the best price.
Information about countries and vaccinations required can be found on the links below:
It is important to make the initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travelto allow the vaccines to work.
From time to time you may request a report, letter, certificate or medical examination from your doctor. This is outside the core medical services provided by the NHS. You will be asked to pay for these services upfront. Unfortunately we are unable to commence work on reports until the fee has been paid.
If you request information which carries a fee we will try to ascertain if this is really required as in many cases such as application for Attendance Allowance Blue Badge or Housing Benefit the department concerned would request this information directly from us and pay for it. we do not want you to have to pay for information which is unnecessary
Please ask at reception for a list of fees.
We work closely with the Health Trainer Team. They run clinics at Withernsea in the Leisure Centre and also at our Branch surgeries. You can self refer to see them and do not need a Doctors referral.
They provide personal support and motivation to adults within the East Riding of Yorkshire who wish to lead a healthier lifestyle. If you want to become healthier but don't know where to start, a health trainer will be able to help you work out exactly what you want and how to go about it. They can help you access support from other health partners.
Health trainers can offer a range of guidance and support including:
You are much more likely to quit successfully if you use the Hull and East Riding NHS Stop Smoking Service than with willpower alone.They offer services that are free of charge. You'll get practical help to stop smoking and FREE Nicotine Replacement Products (NRT) like patches or gum
An experienced addictions nurse attends the surgery weekly and can help patients who may have difficulties with the amount they drink. Your GP can organise an appointment to see her.
Realising you have a problem with alcohol is the first step to getting better, but it is often the hardest one.
If your body has become dependent on booze, stopping drinking overnight can be life-threatening, so get advice about cutting down gradually.
A good place to start is with your GP. Be honest with them about how much you drink.
The NHS Choices Website provides lots of useful information on alcohol by clicking here.

You are my inspiration. You look amazing. It took me prob 6 months to feel back to normal. I tried on the Target jeans in pink and loved them. I wonder if I can order Bar videos to do at home.....ReplyDelete
Of course I think you look great! I think the Bar helped keep the weight gain to a mimimum too, which of course made you have less to lose. I gained 40+ with Henry too and it was not pretty. Hope to see you in class again soon!!ReplyDelete

You worked hard in class. We at Bar Method were happy to guide you! It really does work. (You won't like us very much for the first month or so coming back to class. You forget how hard it is!)
Cant wait to see you.
Love the colored denim!
You are my new motivation to keep going to fusion classes (very similar to bar method) for the rest of my pregnancy. Some days it really is difficult to get myself there. You look great - just in time for summer, no less! Nice work!ReplyDelete

Natalie, you can order the Bar DVD's. I don't have a studio near me and have been doing it for the last year via DVD's (I have 5 different ones) and I love, love, love it. I've lost 35 pounds, dropped 3 jeans sizes and have never felt better. Here's the link; http://www.barmethod.com/dvds/exercise-dvds.html Good LuckReplyDelete

McQuivey prefaced his notion by saying celine outlet shop Apple really needs to do something different to capture celine bag consumer attention in a market where people update their technology less often. That's as opposed Celine Luggage Tote to iPhones, which have become Apple's biggest money-maker Celine Boston Bag due in no small part to their shorter lifecycle among buyers who get them as a Celine Luggage bags discount when signing two-year phone contracts.ReplyDelete
Packing in the kind of technology isabel marant sneaker McQuivey mentions -- things like a touch screen, Webcam, microphones, and the Baskets Isabel Marant guts of an iOS device -- certainly would not come cheap. For a very non-scientific comparison, isabel marant boots Microsoft's second-generation Surface isabel marant online device, which is comprised of a 40-inch TV with a touch screen that's been optically-bonded to a piece of Corning's Gorilla Glass, retails for about. Yes, that's not remotely fair considering it's got some additional high-tech optical sensor technology, Isabel Marant shoes and has a built-in PC running Windows, but you get the point: costs can skyrocket the more you try to cram in there.ReplyDelete
Go girl!! You look GREAT! Keep posting your updates/secret tips...I'll be ready for them in a few months - due August 27th!ReplyDelete
I am your newest follower!
Hope you'll check out my blog & follow it as well! :)
Hi.... thanks for posting. I am currently doing the Bar Method as well. I am 15 weeks and am hoping to continue throughout the pregnancy and after. I was a runner before but I am not allowed to do it during my pregnancy. Any tips you have please keep us posted thanks.ReplyDelete

PACHMAYR GUN WORKS INC Compac Grips
Pachmayr Compac Grip For Smith & Wesson J Frame Round Butt
Compac grips are made from a specially formulated black rubber compound and are designed to maintain concealability. Although compact in design, they still give a shooter total control, and provide a secure, non-slip finish. The professional compac grips are smaller versions of the compac models that provide an even greater degree of concealability. The design has an open back-strap and the overall shape has been downsized. Makes it possible for shooters with small hands or a shorter finger to better reach the trigger and obtain the advantages of a reliable Pachmayr grip.

Growth is expected to remain above 3% but the economy remains vulnerable to an eurozone downturn and adverse developments in the automotive sector.
Political situation
Head of state: President Andrej Kiska (since June 2014)
Head of government: Prime Minister Robert Fico (since April 2012)
Population: 5.4 million
Ruling party lost its absolute majority in the March 2016 elections
In the March 2016 general elections, which were mainly focused on the European migrant crisis, the ruling social-democratic Smer-SD party lost more than 15% and its absolute majority in parliament, mainly at the expense of nationalistic and right-wing parties. Despite the loss, the Smer-SD remained the largest party in parliament and formed a coalition government with the nationalistic SNS party, the liberal conservative Most-Híd and the centre-right Siet´(network) party.
Economic situation
Growth forecast to remain above 3% in 2016 and 2017
The Slovakian economy grew 3.6% in 2015, driven by consumer spending, business investment and government consumption. Growth is expected to remain above 3% in 2016 and 2017 (3.2% and 3.3% respectively), driven by continued robust domestic demand and exports to the eurozone. Private consumption is forecast to continue to be one of the primary drivers of economic expansion. The labour market shows strong improvement, with the unemployment rate expected to decrease from 14.2% in 2013 to 10.1% in 2016 and 8.8% in 2017, mainly due to improving domestic economic conditions.
Government finances are stable with the budget deficit being kept below 3% of GDP since 2013. The budget deficit is expected to decrease to 1.9% in 2016 and 1.5% in 2017. Long-term government bond yields have decreased rapidly over the past four years, reducing debt servicing costs for the government. Slovakia´s external economic position is solid. Exports and imports are well balanced and both growing. The current account deficit is expected to increase slightly in 2016, but is forecast to turn into a surplus in 2017. At the same time, Slovakia´s foreign debt level is low.
Highly dependent on (automotive) exports
As the Slovakian economy is heavily reliant on industrial exports, (especially automotive related) the eurozone and Germany in particular, it remains very vulnerable to eurozone downturns and/or adverse developments in the automotive sector (e.g. the Volkswagen emissions-rigging scandal).

Jack Roush (L), with Greg Biffle (R) and crew chief Matt Puccia. The lead team for Ford as 2013 opens? (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
Jack Roush says Daytona's SpeedWeeks will likely be filled with crashes unless NASCAR tightens up the new 2013s before the season opening Daytona 500.
However Roush says he senses NASCAR officials won't change much, if anything, until after Daytona.
Roush called the three-day Daytona test earlier this much "really inconclusive, because they didn't have an inspection process, and many of the cars were not with approved final hardware. They just didn't have the parts to build the cars correctly.
"Still, based on our better than average success there the last two years, I am guardedly optimistic we can return to that form.
"But I will not be surprised if we are not as good this year as we were in 2011 and 2012. Those were incredible years for us, in which if things had broken just right for us we could have won every restrictor plate race. And that's unusual for me at Daytona and Talladega."
Roush then warns "I think at Daytona and Talladega we've got trouble coming. With the 450 pounds of downforce they've taken off those cars, and the shift (in downforce) to the front, it will make a lot of cars hard to handle. Like Jamie McMurray in Daytona testing almost lost it, and Greg Biffle almost spun out in turn four.
"The cars are so close to not having enough mechanical and aero grip that the drivers are going to have a knife-edge window to deal with.
"The thing they could do real easy is to put more real spoiler on the car. And I would not be surprised if we don't have more rear spoiler for the Talladega race (May 5th).
"And I think it's going to be trouble."

On Day Four, the final day of Charlotte Motor Speedway's annual pre-season media tour, Roush and Ford were center stage, in downtown Charlotte, assessing their game plans for the new season, and capping the session with a parade of cars and haulers around the city.
The big changes for Roush:
-- he's giving Robbie Reiser, the competition director and key cog in the entire operation, more duties and responsibilities;
-- he's paired veteran old-school crew chief Jimmy Fennig with Carl Edwards, whose slump last season was painful to watch;
-- he's moved rookie Ricky Stenhouse, a firebrand of a racer, up to Matt Kenseth's team;
-- and he's got wild man Travis Pastrana on board, running Nationwide races (in an oddly hideous painted car).
Travis Pastrana: pass Jack a Red Bull (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
Is Roush, at 70 now, still as fired up to do this another season? NASCAR's Sprint Cup tour is a 10-month grind that must be experienced to be fully understood. All those weeks on the road, plus testing, makes the sport a mind-numbing marathon, even for the most enthusiastic.
Roush smiles: "Young people are 'driven,' with their enthusiasm...and I guess people my age need to keep telling ourselves that we still have the drive for this, that we still have the commitment for it, that we still have the need for it.....even though it hurts some days to get up and go do what you have to do.
"But I still do it, and I still love it."
Maybe a couple of Red Bulls could take him over the hump on those off days? That's Pastrana's sponsor.
Roush laughed. "I haven't succumbed to Red Bull yet, but I'm thinking with Travis I could probably get a discount, and I should give it a try."

And who came up that wild paint scheme on Pastrana's Nationwide cars? "Travis," Roush said with a grin. "I guess he figures that what his 'following' wants.
"Travis designed the car, we just painted it for him."
Actually Pastrana and his infectious spirit, plus a curious fan base, could be just the tonic for the Roush camp, to take the edge off things at times.
"Travis is going to be a lot of fun," Roush said.
Pastrana, as a Red Bull athlete, is charged with doing wild and crazy things. The company specializes in the outrageous. (It's Formula 1 operation is a world-wide headliner....raising questions about why Red Bull in NASCAR didn't do any better in that five-year program.)
In keeping with that part of the program Roush took Pastrana up in one of his P-51s. "Just before we got in, someone whispered in my ear 'You know you don't have to put a parachute on him, because Travis has jumped out of plane without a parachute.'
"After we did our thing in the P-51, I told him 'I guess you think that's the lamest thing you've ever done.'"
Roush again laughed.
Riding with Roush in a P-51 is an E-ride by any measure, of course.
Can new crew chief Jimmy Fennig get Carl Edwards back on track? (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
The 2013 stockers? "It's definitely starting over," Roush says.
"But based on what we saw at Charlotte, the new car looks to be more responsive to adjustment, and easier to organize for a particular driver or a particular track."
And it involves a major car building operation. Hendrick says he'll have 28 race-ready cars to start the season; Roush agrees "28 is the number.
"We've certainly been challenged by the late determination of some of the rules. And some of the suppliers have been challenged to get enough parts out."
In a curious point teams were told by NASCAR two days ago to be prepared for more car tweaks in the first few weeks of the season, if the sanctioning body thinks they're needed.
After six years of the almost infamous car-of-tomorrow (COT), a common-template design that has been so criticized both by drivers and fans, NASCAR will have race cars that are much more differentiated, with more character lines.
The 'character lines' issue and electronic fuel injection (in its second season now in this sport) are in direct response to Detroit car makers complaints.
"We were on our way to losing the manufacturers' interest if we didn't get more brand identification," Roush said.
Not sure how much teams really learned from last week's Charlotte test of the 2013s, not with 30-degree weather (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
But there is much more to the 2013s than just the sheet metal (which for some reason has been in remarkably short supply, teams complain).
There is a new rear-end chassis design (in part to eliminate that 'trick' rear end used so successfully by the Hendrick teams, in part to give the cars more rear grip on the tour's smaller tracks).
And the cars are 160 pounds lighter.
At Daytona NASCAR has special rules limiting engine cooling and limiting rear downforce. That means drivers have to be careful with engine temperature in the draft. And bump drafting can be only done at your peril, as Dale Earnhardt Jr. himself showed in that Daytona test...which he called one of the most embarrassing moments of his career.
So who's the top Ford driver, who's got the top Ford team as the season opens?
Yes, Brad Keselowski, Ford's newest, is coming in after a dramatic championship run in 2012. And team owner Roger Penske knows how to make such big changes without missing a beat. (Remember Penske's 10-win 1993 season with Rusty Wallace and Pontiac, followed by a switch to Ford for 1994 and an eight-win season?)
Still, now with Kenseth gone and with Edwards trying to get back on track, the nod, at the moment, will likely be with Greg Biffle.
Biffle, bidding to become the first man in NASCAR history to win all three series championships, was hot enough last season to win the title, until an early fall run of problems.
Biffle and Kenseth dominated the tour's biggest tracks, Daytona and Talladega. And Biffle, though drafting buddy Kenseth has moved to rival Toyota, still talks about their good work together. "I owe Matt for that Michigan win last summer," Biffle says.
And Biffle and Kenseth shared the top spot in the standings 21 weeks.
But something happened to Roush teams mid-season. Or rather maybe it was the new rear-end chassis setup that the rival Rick Hendrick teams began using so effectively (like in Jimmie Johnson's powerful performance at Indianapolis).
What happened?
"It would be real easy for me to say it was the trick rear-end," Roush says. "When NASCAR allowed that additional skew to the rear axle, that certainly upset the apple cart, and gave the people who'd taken the initiative with that an advantage...and put the rest of the teams that weren't in on it from Day One at a disadvantage.
"But probably the big thing was just the lack of time-in-grade for Matt Puccia (Biffle's new crew chief); he was just getting his legs under him. He obviously did a lot of things right. But they made a (bad) car selection at one of the races, which was probably pivotal. I think they went the wrong direction.
"But that will all be better this year."
Charlotte under the lights, with the 2013s....here Ford's arch-rival -- Chevy's Jimmie Johnson (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
And maybe Edwards' continuing problems, quite unexpected, coupled with crew chief Bob Osborne's medical problems, which sidelined him, were a big factor too. Edwards never quite seemed on the same page with his teammates; and this after his stunning run in 2011.
Osborne is doing well now, Edwards says, and he's been back at the track, though not as a full crew chief.
"This is a real grind, and if you've got something a little off with your health, it can take the edge off your game," Roush says.
Now it's Fennig at the helm. Fennig's credentials go back to his early years working with Bobby Allison in the 1980s, and the man knows the sport. Fennig's notorious quiet nature still baffles, Edwards says with a laugh. "I don't know where the sense of humor is -- I texted him some jokes, but he never replied. Guess they weren't funny to him."
Yes, Fennig is a no-nonsense kind of guy. And Edwards says Fennig told him this season is all about winning, not about making headlines.
Fennig, who ran Kenseth's team last season, is a renown 'closer.'
"Carl and Jimmy are figuring out how to work together, and it's going to be great," Roush says.
So Roush has two veterans, in Edwards and Biffle, and two relative newcomers, in Stenhouse and Trevor Bayne, and a real wild card in Pastrana.

One of the curious things about Roush Racing is Roush's own son Jack Jr., who is a solid road course racer, running this weekend again in the 24 Hours of Daytona. Jack Jr. turns 40, and works for the company, out of its Detroit shops; but Jack Jr. has so far seemed either reluctant or disinterested in taking any major role in the NASCAR side of the company. However Roush says Jack Jr., whose main work away from the track is in high performance parts, will have a major role in the company itself.
After his media whirl here Thursday Roush planned to fly to Daytona to watch Jack Jr. in action.

Sound like the cars have been placed in the hands of the drivers...we'll see who can drive. Obviously there will be some wrecking but the smart drivers will be there at the end.
Robby Gordon once said they should remove the spoilers completely...
Sounds like NASCAR has moved slightly in that direction.
Looser racecars never reveal who can "drive," because then handling gets in the way of passing. The so-called "smart" drivers are simply the ones with the largest engineering staffs helping them.
What reveals who can drive is a package where nothing gets in the way of passing and repassing.
Many people consider that Nascar\'s main problem is boring races. If putting their fate back in the drivers hands changes that it will be a good move.
Engineers always want it so that the car can run WOT all around the track. That takes the driver out of it. But its not the best for the fans.
Seems like Roush is just lowering expectations.
That's how we want it Jack, they're stock cars, not slot cars. It's about time we had a chance to separate the drivers from the product spokesmen. Junior didn't need a spoiler on his Chevy and neither does June Bug.

Happy 23rd Birthday, Bella Swan! Here Are Our Top 5 Reasons For Loving You!
Join us while we celebrate the life of Bella Swan – and tell us why YOU adore her so much!
Rejoice, BFFs! Today is Bella Swan's birthday! Just 23 years ago today, Sept. 13 (before she stopped aging and became a vampire, that is), Bella was born to Renee and Charlie Swan – and for that, we at HollywoodLife.com are happier than Emmett Cullen at a lion-wrestling party.
So why are we rejoicing as much as Bella's vampiric other half, Edward Cullen? Check out our top 5 reasons – and add your own!
- If she wasn't born, Edward would never have found his soulmate! The LAST thing we want is for Edward Cullen to be unhappy. He's our fantasy man *cough* vampire.
- We don't have to feel so badly about being pale in the winter. Bella is even pale in the summer! Bless.
- She's got two gorgeous hunks lusting after her! A dream fantasy, right? Bella is living our dreams!
- Because she's single-handedly keeping the whole mid-90s grunge, angsty Daria thing alive! Yeah, we said it. Muse who? Our Bella likes Nirvana!
- Twilight wouldn't have been Twilight without her. If any other girl pined that endlessly for a man, we'd want to beat our heads against the wall in frustration. Hello, women's lib! But you knew Edward was 'the one' and risked everything for him. How's that for true love?
PS, BFFs – we're not the only ones who love Bella (aka Kristen Stewart)! In honor of her birthday, Summit Entertainment re-released The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Sept. 10! If that's not a reason to party, we don't know what is!
Now tell us , HollywoodLifers…why do YOU love Bella Swan so much?

My daughters are incredible artists.
I'm not just saying this because I'm their mother.
Well, maybe I am.
But whatev.
They're fly.
Creative little buggers, the two of them.
They get it from their mama. And their daddy, too.
And a few wonderful artist friends who teach them about Jacob Lawrence and William H. Johnson, Faith Ringold and Ann Tanksley, Romare Bearden and Mose Tolliver, Jimmy Lee Suddith and contemporaries like Franks Deceus and Tamara Natalie Madden, too. They are taught to revere these creators--for what they've overcome as African American artists in a world that simply refuses to give them the respect due.
For the genius in their fingertips.
For the beauty they bring to our world.
To honor these artists, I sign up my daughters for classes with Jackie Ellett, a wonderful art instructor who teaches third graders in the public school system here in Georgia. She's always teaching them super interesting things about history's most incredible artists, and she doesn't hesitate to mention artists like Bearden and Johnson in the same breath as Picasso and Van Gogh. Indeed, she had the girls create these self-portraits in tribute to the folk artist Mose Tolliver. This piece is Mari's--reserved, simple, restrained. Just like her.
This orange one is Lila--fiery, wide-eyed, free. Just like my little one.
I remember the day they made these portraits; it was a Sunday afternoon, and they were particularly geeked because all of their buddies were in the class with them, including their cousins Miles and Cole. Jackie gave them a quick lesson on Tolliver (they knew him already, thanks to their mother, who regularly stalks Tolliver's work) and then encouraged them to really think about what they look like. Then she handed my babies the paint and let them have at it. Both of them went for the boldest, brightest colors they could find, and then proceeded to use at least a gallon of brown for their faces and went nuts with the black to fashion their twists. I was proud that they saw themselves as chocolate beauties; it certainly translates in their work. In these portraits, my girls seem happy--happy to be exactly who they are. Kinda reminds me of that Angie Stone song, "Happy to Be Me." (That's Angie singing it live up top. Listen. Think. Enjoy.)
My babies' self-portraits hang in our kitchen, along with a bazillion other paintings they've created.
I'm proud of them.
They make me giggle.
I hope they do that for you, too.

When will the macro give the micro a break? When will the stronger news we see, the sweeping data like the 14% increase in Chinese exports we got last night, translate into higher earnings for the companies doing business there?
When will the more stable interest rates and slowing of the rate of decline in business in Europe impact our companies' bottom lines in a positive way?
Or does the prospect of chaos in Washington offset whatever good there might be to come when we eventually get it?
Or, worse, do the stocks already reflect that turn and then some and can only go down when we see the actual numbers across the tape?
That's what I've been pondering when I see, for example, the interplay between the commodities that are rallying off the broader Chinese news and the stocks behind them.
Let's take the reaction to Alcoa (AA). You had revisions upward in every product line, mostly because of an increase in the rate of growth in China coupled with a more gentle decline in Europe. These results produced some pretty good numbers relative to expectations.
Nevertheless, the stock had gone to $9 from $8 in part because people expected that the turn in China would help them and that they wouldn't be as hurt by Europe as they had been.
We got exactly that and nothing more. It wasn't enough.
Today I am looking at oil going higher and I am thinking we could get the same thing when the oil companies report. A better commodity price because of a better global environment, led by China, produces slightly better earnings, no more than that.
So, again, maybe the stocks just don't have room to run.
In the meantime, making things more treacherous are the downgrades by analysts who seem, daily, to pronounce as over the moves we see. Case in point: Vale (VALE). We are getting some pretty positive import data out of China about iron ore demand. That directly impacts Vale. In the meantime, HSBC two days ago downgrades Vale, noting the same trends but saying that's why the stock's gone to $20 from $17.
Is there any thought, perhaps, that if China goes from 8% growth back to 11% growth that Vale might not yet be anywhere near where it could go and that it did, indeed, trade at $35 two-and-a-half years ago? Does that range matter?
Apparently not.
Isn't that your concern, say, with Cummins (CMI), with Caterpillar (CAT) or with Joy (JOY) or even Coach (COH)? All have been rallying on the big macro Chinese data.
But could they be Alcoas, too, or more dangerous than Alcoa given that AA didn't hurt you on the better-than-expected news? Do you think that China's improvement this quarter hits Joy Global's news or did the ten-point run it just had include that better macro environment and if it hasn't translated into orders the stock gets whacked?
Wasn't there a big inventory of Caterpillar earthmovers building in China? Did that suddenly get worked off? When Alcoa says truck sales are picking up steam in China isn't that why Cummins just moved to $113 from $97?
Can they even take away Coach's three-point gain that can only be attributed to a more sanguine Chinese outlook, as nothing good is happening in the U.S.
Are all of these Vale or Alcoa?
That's what you have to worry about if you come in here and start buying. Worry that these stocks are susceptible to a one-two punch of no real translation from the macro to the micro and then the concomitant downgrades from a fearful analyst community, with one eye on Washington that always gives them pause.
Yep, it's hard to resist this rally. But remember the analysts aren't your friends and the rallies that we have had already aren't your allies either.

"Quiet Bunny loves springtime in the forest. He loves the warm sun on his soft little nose. He loves the tickly new grass between his toes. Most of all, he loves the beautiful colors."
Quiet Bunny's Many Colors by Lisa McCue. Sterling (March 2011); ISBN 9781402772092; 32 pages
Book Source: Review copy provided by publisher
As he observes the glorious colors of spring, poor Quiet Bunny wishes his own drab fur displayed such beauty and color. He hops through the forest, and, through a series of humorous events along the way, manages to add a little color to his fur. A few dandelions turn him yellow, with a lily pad covering he's green, a romp in a blueberry patch results in beautiful blue fur, and a clay mud bath turns his coat red. Sadly, the splendid colors don't last. When Quiet Bunny peers into a crystal blue pond all he sees is a plain brown and white bunny. Luckily, Wise Owl steps up and kindly explains to Quiet Bunny that he is beautiful in his own way -- each and every animal contributes to the natural beauty of spring.
Very few artists can capture the glorious colors and sights of nature with such vivid cuteness while bordering on realism. Lisa McCue's color infused illustrations are perfect for children. Nature's colors spring to life! My kids' eyes practically swim in the gorgeous pictures full of tiny details...the hollows in the trees, little bugs on the leaves. Even the text occasionally drips with color. McCue uses several colored onomatopoeic words like "KeRR-SpLashhh" to add expression to her story. Parents and teachers will appreciate that the book quietly and colorfully reinforces the message that every single person, every single animal is beautiful in their own special way. And, make sure to play a little "what is different, what is the same" game with the end pages...such a clever touch by Lisa McCue!
Springtime is full of smells, sounds and vibrant COLORS. Use this book as a springboard to practice color recognition and take time to observe the colors of nature with kids. Pair it with Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin and James Dean for a splashy, colorful preschool storytime.

Fun activities:
Observe the colors of spring on a nature walk -
My son and I went on a little backyard stroll today and found colors everywhere: the tips of green daffodil leaves emerging from the brown soil, the blue sky dotted with white clouds, a pink dianthus starting to bloom. The natural world is full of colors!
Read and/or write springtime color poems together -
The colors of spring abound in the world of poetry. Search for springtime poems that describe the colors associated with spring, like the one below:
author unknown
A small green frog
On a big brown log;
A black and yellow bee
In a little green tree;
A red and yellow snake
By a blue-green lake,
All sat and listened
To red bird sing,
"Wake up, everybody,
It's spring! It's spring!"

Education to Get More Money in Missouri Budget Plan
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri public schools and universities will get a funding increase under an agreement by legislative budget negotiators. A group of House and Senate members decided Tuesday to provide a $25 million funding increase to public colleges and universities based on whether they have met performance criteria such as student graduation rates. That's less than the $34 million increase sought by Gov. Jay Nixon but more than the House had approved earlier this year.
The budget also includes $10 million for the University of Missouri medical school to expand a residency program at the Cox Health system in Springfield. Public school districts would get a $66 million increase to their $3 billion of core funding - the same amount Nixon recommended.

My only regret is not buying these years ago.
I love the shoes, except that the footbed is not cushioned enough for me. I added a Dr. Scholl's liner/insert for more cushion.

Castle fans have to wait a few more weeks to find out whether Beckett accepts Castle's marriage proposal. But the ABC drama's new cast photos might give you something to look forward to.
Exclusive First Look: Check out Castle's sexy Season 6 photos
TVGuide.com has your exclusive first look at the new photos of stars Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, one of which features the show's romantic duo dressed in some pretty spiffy formal wear. Although Katic's gold gown isn't exactly bridal standard, something about Fillion's tux and the couple's pose just screams "wedding photos."
Maybe it's just wishful thinking on our part (Beckett doesn't have a ring on her finger in any of the photos), but the truth about the couple's possible engagement and future will be revealed in the Season 6 premiere. Until then, drool over a few more exclusive sexy shots of the stars right now.
Castle premieres Monday, Sept. 23 at 10/9c on ABC.
Do you think Beckett will accept Rick's proposal?

Obama dominated the tech angle of the '08 election with his smartphone-packing social media swagger (his opponent not knowing how to use a computer helped too). But The Economist says some in the tech business now feel abandoned.
It seems most of the beef is a result of Silicon Valley types not getting what they think was promised (or at least what they personally expected). Obama ran as the tech-savviest candidate in US history – but is his administration giving back to the corporate geek base? "There's a strong feeling that this government really lacks direction," explains Gary Shapiro, the chief of the Consumer Electronics Association.
Shapiro's lament is a bit vague, but in political speak, boils down to one thing: money. The Economist lists off a litany of complaints: not enough incentive to invest, the taxes are too high, being demonised for outsourcing, and what's described as a generally anti-corporate angle of rhetoric coming out of the White House. "We're praised for creating jobs while being spanked at the same time," says the head of the National Venture Capital Association.
On the other hand, corporate America griping about taxes and outsourcing is nothing new – and certainly not an Obama-specific complaint. The Economist also notes that the tech sector has been a heavy recipient of federal stimulus money, which is quietly accepted without protest. The mismatch between Silicon Valley hopes and presidential delivery also hasn't prevented tech firms from donating to the Democratic party with a volume that dwarfs that of checks written out to the GOP – so clearly the relationship is, if a little strained, not yet broken up. [The Economist]
